I think it would work if you copy usp10.dll from C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE11 to the same folder as notepad.exe,
toolbox.exe or whatever - so that Notepad, Toolbox (not Shoebox as this
is a Unicode only feature) etc uses this usp10.dll rather than the older
version in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. But this is not guaranteed to work and
is not supported by Microsoft (nor by me!) Microsoft deliberately makes
it very hard to copy the newer version into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 to
replace the system version, probably for very good reasons such as that
it might break some programs.
